Shamanic Ritual tonight

My lovely and talented girlfriend is hosting an event tonight at Observatory, on Union and Nevins in Brooklyn. Come and check it out. Inexpensive, unique, fun.

Shamanic Ritual with Itzhak Beery

Date: Wednesday, February 17th
Time: 7:30pm
Admission: $8

Phantasmaphile is honored to present an evening ritual with Shaman Itzhak Beery, co-founder of the NY Shamanic Circle.

This ceremony will focus on Meeting Power Animal Spirits: The Journey to Non-Ordinary Realities

Participants will be introduced to the principles of the shamanic belief system. The workshop teaches the techniques of shamanic journeying which is used by shamans to enter non-ordinary realities. Participants will learn to travel to the other worlds to obtain personal Power animal spirits, to connect with these spirits, and to retrieve specific knowledge. This knowledge can be used in our world to heal, to settle disputes, to communicate between the living and the dead, to create abundance, and to pray for the well-being of the environment, for others and ourselves.

Accompanied by drumbeat, participants learn to journey to the animal energies and shape-shift into them, allowing each person to merge with their animal nature—a reflection of our innermost self that represent those qualities we need most in this world, but which are often hidden, or repressed.

***Please bring a pillow, towel, or cushion to sit on.
